By Peter Conway Staff Writer Kendrick Lamar’s most recent album, To Pimp a Butterfly, was surprisingly released March 16, a week before its intended release on March 23. This revolutionary album has sound like I have never heard before. Every song seems to change flow to a drastic extent, and sometimes multiple times within the song. To Pimp a Butterfly is Kendrick’s third highly acclaimed album, coming after Section 80 and Good Kid m.a.a.d. City.

Since elementary school, students have been hyped up over Valentine’s Day. I remember receiving candy and hand written cards from everyone in my class. In middle school, the candy was removed and cards were created for everyone’s…

John Devereaux WABC Liaison As a Senior in High School, I have taken many tests during my tenure in gym. I’ve taken gym every year, and there was not an instance where I took my time or stopped what I was doing to study for these tests. About every two or three weeks the activity in Gym class will be changed into another activity. Before switching into the next activity every student no matter their grades have to take a small test. “The P.E test don’t benefit us at all, not positively or negatively.

Tim DeLouchrey Sports Editor To change or not to change? That is the question many students and faculty members alike at Westford Academy have begun to ask regarding the current schedule the school exercises.
